If you was given the Fulham managers job...

[JackyFulham90]

What changes would you make with the current squad we have?
For me I would get Ross playing on the last man he will score goals but he is always far too deep he should be our main man upfront.
Rodallega would hit the bench through his poor current form.
I would find loan moves for Dembele, Hyndman & Roberts.
Eisfield & David would be brought back in to the 18 man squad.
Tunnicliffe & Kacaniklic would become key men.
In the transfer market i would look for a right back & a central defender with pace.

For me my team would be

                            Bettenelli
Hoogland Hutchinson Bodurov Stafylidis
Tunnicliffe Christensen Parker Kacaniklic
                                Ruiz
                                   McCormack

Subs - Kiraly,  Burn, Fofana, Eisfield, David, Rodallega,  Woodrow


I'm sure not many people will agree with me I rate what Kit has done for us this season but his tactics atm simply are not working.

[Haynes]

What, drop Kavanagh completely?

[JackyFulham90]

He is a decent young player I would have him in the squad but he wouldn't be a starter for me

[fulhamben]

i have seen nothing to suggest that ross could lead the line on his todd. he's a good player, but a good out and out lone striker, im not so sure on that.

id give him another go at left back at some stage

Possibly your right but he is a good footballer as is Bryan Ruiz. McCormack has a great 1st touch which Rodallega does having technical players on our forward line will help us keep possession which which should lead to none shots at goal.

I know this wouldnt be popular on this message board but I would keep Fofana in the team.  After watching the replays I always come away impressed at his movement and energy.  His first touch is a little off but that will get better as he gets used to the speed at this level.  Another key to this team is having LVC in the middle of the park.  Scotty P mopping up and being consistent will help.

Ross would be right behind Cauley or Matt Smith.  With our long ball tactics, we need a striker that can either run the channels or can head the ball.

How about something like this if everyone was healthy.  LVC has the motor to counter from this position and McCormack wouldnt drop so deep.

                 Bettinelli

Hoogland    Hutch   Bodurov   Amorebieta

     Fofana        Parker          Kavanagh

                        LVC

         McCormack           Woodrow


Kaca and Tunnicliffe could come into the team for Kavanagh and Fofana if they are fit and are better in those positions.  I would be leery to drop Fofana because of his energy, especially away from home.

                  Bettinelli

Hoogland    Hutch   Bodurov   Amorebieta

      Fofana        Parker          Tunnicliffe

                         LVC

          McCormack           Rodallega

With Kacaniklic and G Williams on the bench for youth when required, I would look to bring in Juan Cala (Recently released from Cardiff) and Magnus Wolf Eikrem (Recently released from Cardiff)

In the transfer market I would look to sell: Ruiz, Voser, Zverotic, Fotheringham, and Chihi.  I would look for season loans for Dembele, Taggart, Casasola, Fazlic, Eisfeld, and Burgess.  I would not loan Roberts, I would keep him as a change of pace sub (I also wouldn't want to have him risk injury in a lower league).  I would look to hold on to all our youngsters, and recall Tunniclife from Blackburn.

I wouldn't bring in any more loan players from Prem clubs, we have our own youngsters to develop for the future.  I would look to sign Maloney or other wing players with experience.  I would also look for defenders with Championship experience that we might be able to get on the cheap.

On the field I would player a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-1-1 depending on opponent strength.  I would employ more width with Kaca, LVC, G Williams, and possibly a new signing as wingers.  When playing a 4-2-3-1 against weaker sides I would give the 3 attacking midfielders (in this case LVC, McCormack, and Kaca) license to inter-change positions and roam.

                   Betts

Hoogland    Bodurov   Hutch   Staf

             Parker     Fofana (Tunniclife if Fofana leaves)

LVC          McCormack          Kaca

                 Rodallega

Subs: Kiraly, Burn, Kavanagh, Hyndman (or Tunniclife if not starting), David, Roberts, Woodrow (G Williams, J Grimmer also in the mix)

Bottom-line:  I would look to lessen our squad size (remove some dead-weight) hold on to our young players and get them as much time on the field as I could, and build for the future.  Finishing mid-table this season and looking to push on next season with a few good signings and more experienced youngsters.

drop Hugo but keep Ruiz? not for me.....
